Short summary – read this first

Megha is currently in Wengen and enjoyed a visit to the Top of Europe. With three days to explore, she plans to visit Lucerne, Schilthorn, and Murren, but needs help planning a day trip to Broc and Gruyère and is wondering if she needs to pre-book a cheese factory tour.

Key takeaways:

Take the scenic Golden Pass line to Gruyère via Zweisimmen, which takes about 4 hours.
From Gruyère, travel to Broc-Fabriques, which takes 28 minutes.
Use the fastest route back from Broc via Bulle and Fribourg, taking about 3 hours and 17 minutes.
No need to pre-book the cheese factory tour; both entrances are covered by the Swiss Travel Pass.

The one day remaining, we want to go to Broc and Gruyere. After looking at tge travel times and all that I had put it away and didn’t look much into it. However, since we have done the 1st most imp excursion yesterday we would like to do this day trip.

so travel is ok and we have STP.

Now I need route suggestion.

We came to Wengen via Bern from Zurich.

Now, how do I plan this route?

We can do this tomorrow. Also do I need to pre-book the cheese factory tour? All entrance are covered by STP, please can you confirm?

Hi Megha,

I’m please do hear that you had an amazing afternoon at the Jungfraujoch.

The scenic route (Golden Pass line) to Gruyère is via Zweisimmen and takes about 4 hours. From Gruyère to Broc you have no make sure you select Broc-Fabriques. This ride takes about 28 min. On the way back from Broc you may want to choose the fastest way via Bulle and Fribourg which takes 3h17.

No need to pre-book and both entrances are covered by the Swiss Travel Pass.

Have fun!
